How To Get Rid Of Discolored Stretch Marks Around The Waist Post Weight Gain?
I m 23 going on 24. Since I can remember, I ve had stretch marks around my waist. They are all line form for the most part and are all purple. Some are a bit faded but not completely. Some jut out some go inwards. At age 14 I weighed 135. I now way about 220. I ve gained probably about 20-30 pounds in the last year but have recently stopped gaining (within the last couple months). However, I ve never had more stretch marks than I have now. They wrap around my waist (not on the back) and now some circle my belly button. I count 29. It s getting bad. I want to lose weight but I m fearful they will get worse. I m getting very discouraged with my body. What can I do? How can I fix this problem? Will losing 1-2 pound a week really help with the stretch marks or will it still get worse?
